In the BBC documentary “Giraffe: Africa’s Gentle Giants”—featuring GCF’s important work in Africa—Sir David Attenborough referred to this decline as a “Silent Extinction.”
Despite a significant decline in their population over recent decades, giraffe have garnered minimal attention and support for their conservation. Research conducted by GCF and our partners has led to critical discoveries for the preservation of giraffe in the wild, most notably the identification of four distinct giraffe species. Among these, two species have such critically low populations that they are among the most endangered large mammals on the planet.
GCF is dedicated to securing a future for all giraffe populations in the wild. Our conservation approach is based on solid science and our Translocation Programs are just one example that proves our success by actively bringing giraffe back into areas where they originally reigned.
Giraffe, the tallest land animals, possess unique characteristics like long necks, intricate spot patterns, and complex social behaviors. Explore their remarkable adaptations, behaviors, and challenges, revealing the wonders of the giraffe’s world.
